I did the research. I've owned a Kindle and read and watched at least 20 different reviews on the KA1. I knew about all the e-Ink vs. tablet drawbacks, but if the KA1 worked well in other areas it would be a good trade-off. What surprised me were the drawbacks that none of the reviews mentioned. Put differently: if the KA1 had longer battery life, a responsive touchscreen, auto-illumination that worked smoothly, I would be keeping it. That would be enough to compensate for the disadvantages that I knew about in advance.
